Collection Jean-Yves Mock
Jean-Yves Mock (b. 1928) worked at the Hanover Gallery in London from 1956 until in 1973, when it closed. The gallery was originally founded in 1949 by Erica Brausen, primarily to showcase the work of the then relatively unknown artist, Francis Bacon. It went on to become one of the most important and influential establishments for three generations of 20th-century European artists.

Jean-Yves's contribution was instrumental in discovering and promoting some of the 20th century's leading exponents of the avant garde and through his involvement he formed lasting friendships with many artists, as is illustrated by the numerous works dedicated to him in his collection.

When the Hanover Gallery closed in 1973, Jean-Yves joined the curatorial team at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. During his distinguished career there he organised the first major retrospectives of Niki de Saint Phalle, Yves Klein and Jean Tinguely and. His invaluable contribution to the arts was acknowledged by the French State when he was made a Chevalier de l'ordre des arts et des letters in 1985 and awarded L'Ordre du Merite in 1993.
